It's time again for another challenge! This week Laurie Schmidlin shows us how to use color blocking three different ways! It sure is a quick and nice addition to card making. You can watch the video here ⇢ Make It Monday #292: Color Blocking Three Ways.
I decided to use cardstock for my color blocking and picked one of my favorite color combinations: Green Parakeet, Lemon Tart and Hawaiian Shores. I die-cut one of each using a diagonal die and adhered them to a white cardstock card base. The middle one is stamped with a sentiment from Keep It Simple: Friendship in Smokey Shadow ink and is on fun foam for dimension.
The two bouquets are die-cut in white cardstock and stamped with coordinating ink colors. I added a little glitter to the flowers and filled in the small flower centers with a black marker.
